Provided is a Co—Cr—Pt—B-based alloy sputtering target having no more than 10 cracks of 0.1 to 20 μm in a B-rich phase in a 100 μm×100 μm area (field of view). Additionally provided is a method for producing this Co—Cr—Pt—B-based alloy sputtering target including the steps of hot forging or hot rolling a Co—Cr—Pt—B-based alloy cast ingot, thereafter performing cold rolling or cold forging thereto at an elongation rate of 4% or less, and machining the ingot to prepare a target having no more than 10 cracks of 0.1 to 20 μm in a B-rich phase in a 100 μm×100 μm area (field of view), or, hot forging or hot rolling the ingot, thereafter quenching the ingot to −196° C. to 100° C., and machining the ingot to prepare a target. The target of the present invention has high magnetic flux density and few microcracks in a B-rich layer, and thus stabilizes discharge and minimizes arcing.
摘要:
A ferromagnetic sputtering target comprising metal having a composition containing 20 mol % or less of Cr, and Co as the remainder; wherein the target structure includes a basis metal (A), and flat phases (B), containing 90 wt % or more of Co, within the basis metal (A), the average grain size of the phases (B) is 10 μm or more and 150 μm or less, and the average aspect ratio of the phases (B) is 1:2 to 1:10.

摘要:
A sputtering target for a magnetic recording film which contains carbon, the sputtering target is characterized in that the ratio (IG/ID) of peak intensities of the G-band to the D-band in Raman scattering spectrometry is 5.0 or less. The sputtering target for a magnetic recording film, which contains carbon powders dispersed therein, makes it possible to produce a magnetic thin film having a granular structure without using an expensive apparatus for co-sputtering; and in particular, the target is an Fe—Pt-based sputtering target. Carbon is a material which is difficult to sinter and has a problem that carbon particles are apt to form agglomerates. There is hence a problem that carbon masses are readily detached during sputtering to generate a large number of particles on the film after sputtering. The high-density sputtering target can solve these problems.

An Fe—Pt-based ferromagnetic material sputtering target comprising a metal and a metal oxide, wherein the metal has a composition in which Pt is contained in an amount of 5 mol % or more and 60 mol % or less and the remainder is Fe. An object of the present invention is to provide a ferromagnetic material sputtering target, which enables to form a magnetic recording layer composed of a magnetic phase such as an Fe—Pt alloy, and a non-magnetic phase to isolate the magnetic phase, and in which a metal oxide is used as one of the materials for the non-magnetic phase. Provided is a ferromagnetic material sputtering target wherein an inadvertent release of the metal oxide during sputtering and particle generation due to abnormal electrical discharge starting at a void inherently included in the target are suppressed, the adherence between the metal oxide and the matrix alloy is enhanced, and its density is increased.
